• Look around Isla Christina

    So, we've explored East, yesterday was West, and today was North into the town. There are lots of interesting boats around the port, including some high-end fishing vessels. We couldn't work out what the ceramic pots are for. A mystery.
    We passed many bars serving fish dishes, some full of lively locals. Tempted again, not that I'm a big fan, if I don't know what's coming. So after wandering a bit we passed a very quiet bar in the centre and I asked if we could have drinks and not food. I'd learnt two words 'bebe' (drink) and 'come' (eat, or food, I think). He seemed to understand.
    Once sat down, we glanced at the menu and decided to try the tapas. Including anchovies again. It was all delicious. Aubergines sliced and a honey marinade and battered, topped with slices of Iberian ham. Beef steaks and shrimp creamy sauce, goat's cheese fritata type wedge with a touch of honey. All an experiment but I must say I'm slightly pleased that John's choice of the octopus stuffed with seafood was off the menu today.
    It was all quite filling so no evening meal needed today. We made our way back to the site (about 5 miles) along the beach, which was fairly busy as it's Saturday.
    No need for driving for a few days now as we booked some extra nights, the 7th is free!
    If you stay for 30 nights, you only pay for 20, which is pretty good.
